As the Programme comes to an end the Communications and Engagement team has collated a Collection of Research Uptake stories from the DRUSSA Universities that have been published on DRUSSA.net. This Collection provides a view of DRUSSA Universities Research Uptake activities, reflects the diversity of Research Uptake activities and also the depth of Research Uptake capacity at DRUSSA Universities.

As part of the RUC2016 Campaign the University of Calabar’ Research Uptake Communicators wrote, edited and uploaded on their Research Uptake page a plain language article that highlights how research on malaria treatment informed government policy, but where the consequent changes in policy highlighted additional challenges.

Dr. Viola Nilah Nyakato, Director of the Institute of Interdisciplinary Training and Research (IITR) at Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST), Ugandareflects on how, through the DRUSSA Programme, in her own work as well as more broadly at the university, Research Uptake has come to the fore.

The final DRUSSA Benchmarking Report is now available. A draft was discussed at the Benchmarking Conference in late April. This final report takes into account the discussions at the Conference and should be read in conjuction with the Consensus document, which provides a succinct guide to motivate sustainable research uptake systems and ways of working in and across DRUSSA partner universities, going forward.

At the recent Benchmarking Conference Prof Shaun Pather presented a paper on Stakeholder Engagement, providing both the context for stakeholder engagement at CPUT, as well as good practices in Stakeholder Engagement to facilitate Research Uptake.
